The director behind ‘There Will Be Blood’, which many critics have said was the best film of the 2000s, has rewarded cinema with another new release. ‘Inherent Vice’ is the 7th film from Academy award winning director Paul Thomas Anderson, which takes place in LA during the 1970s. It follows a stoner private investigator called “Doc” (Joaquin Phoenix) as he gets involved in numerous and highly complicated cases. It has the same charm as ‘The Big Lebowski’ of a laid back aging hippy dealing with a multi-layered complicated mystery while attempting to stay in their comfort zone of taking things slow and easy.

Having been vegetarian in the past and having grown up with an older sister who worked for Greenpeace I was already fairly receptive to much of the ethos behind this type of festival, and knew that I would not need to worry about having a Jeremy Clarksonesque reaction to being confronted with so many non meat- eaters. I was already aware that Vegfest promotes vegan and vegetarian values, but realised once I was there that what Vegfest really advocates is not so much a way of eating, but a way of living. Founder and organiser of Vegfest Tim Barford, explained that the motivation behind Vegfest when it first started 10 years ago in Bristol was to bring together various parts of the vegan community. “We wanted to help people access…

As we will soon be bidding farewell to the indulgent finale of the year, Vegfest UK is at the helm of 2016 to kickstart the detox season with a plethora of foods and activities that celebrate the delicious side of veganism and healthy living. Kicking off a series of dates across the year in February with Vegfest Brighton, the festival continues to lead the way as one of Europe’s leading food and cultural events, hosting an eclectic selection of 200 stalls and a varied array of sumptuous, health-conscious, world cuisine, along with four all-day licensed bars. Housed inside the cavernous Brighton Centre, with luxury, guilt-free eating on tap across the weekend, such delights include Caribbean, Chinese, BBQ and Indian curries, smoothies and ice-creams, as well as a stream of cakes,…

If I had to describe STAMP in one sentence, it would be: “I was a man for an hour and it was one of the best experiences of my life.” Fortunately for you all, I get to use more than that so buckle in, folks. Stamp is an incredibly creative game show where the audience is in control, with a witty presenter and two not-very-willing victims ready to embarrass themselves for your entertainment. The performers were not only engaging and oh-so amusing, they weren’t afraid to jump into any challenge to show that they were the better sex, ending the debate that’s troubled us all. The audience is split down the middle into two teams — Men and Women, obviously — each team supporting their captains with jolly cheers, sad…

One of Brighton’s most promising up and coming house producers, Sean Moriguchi, has been inside the music scene for quite some time. Having an old skool/garage/deep house sound. A grade 5 jazz pianist, who even taught sound engineering at a London college with grime artist Wiley’s dad! Born in London, Sean is now a true Brightonian and what makes him such a promising new talent is the depth of his music experience. “When I started secondary school a mate of mine told me about a pirate radio station called Freeze 92.7, in which we could listen to new underground music for free. Since I first locked in I wanted to make underground music.” To hone his music making skills, Sean began Dj-ing at an early age with vinyl records. Before…

After over 40 years, the award-winning Rocky Horror Show has returned for another tour and what a lucky bunch we are to have it grace the stage of the Theatre Royal Brighton! The talented cast includes Diana Vickers, Ben Freeman, Liam Tamne and the return of Kristian Lavercombe as Riff Raff. But does the new cast live up to the Rocky Horror name? WHM got the chance to Rose Tint our world and see the show and, well…. it was AMAZING! With even the audience glitzing up in their sequinned blazers and stockings, no one could deny everyone looked fabulous, my darling. And of course there was a LOT of audience participation—I mean, it was Rocky Horror after all. If you don’t know the story of Rocky Horror, where have…
